Today, a kiss in air is enough
Mere glimpse of her hair is enough, Today this much dare is enough. Hints of tears of love in her eyes, Such fond prize so rare is enough. She eyeing me with fleeting glance, To me such honour is enough. The dream of her beautiful lips, As investment fair it’s enough. Her hand held in hand can well wait, Today’s kiss in air is...

With all the change, changeless shall the world go
This ailment sure for long shall go, In an ill world along shall go. Yet, head held high shall go with life, Where so it goes gung ho shall go. And like every life upon earth, Pitted like a ping pong shall go. Man a human, it’s obvious, With him his every wrong shall go. With a cautionary signal The church may warn,...

O leave your home-bound world
O leave your home-bound narrow world, Take to the vast dome of the world. No use just sticking to your home, See, sun and moon roam in the world. As do old leaves, flowers and fruits, Turn not to soil’s loam of the world. Look at home-bound frustrate oceans, Ground-stuck, they froth and foam in world. There’s world to learn...

On counterfeit coins and notes
On fair ways of life what can wind not, Counterfeit coins their way can find not. Your shadows do if find the sun strong, Sure, with me the way would ye wind not. Hardships hover on all human life, Sans tough tests man’s today defined not. How will ye change the ways of this world If the set-in-stone kind, ye grind not. Even...

Yaadain Teri
Yaadein teri har roz shaam ko darwaaze se jhaankti hain Main bhi sota nahi raat ko, ye bhi saath mein jaagti hain Lekar aati hain saath mein baatein, kasmein aur sab waade Bahta hai phir neer aankhon se, meri naa ye maanti hain Ab to teri tasveeron se bhi dar lagne laga hai mujhe Chhoone lagta hoon jab inko, ungliyaan...

Chaand Bhi Jalne Laga Hai
Main thehar gaya hoon aur mann teri ore chalne laga hai Tu itni khoobsurat hai ki chaand bhi jalne laga hai Tujhe dekh raha hoon aur mil raha hai sukoon mujhko Ye tera nasha hi to hai jo bin piye chadhne laga hai Hai ye bhi darr ki kahin toot na jaaye phir ek baar Par ye dil ki mujhse...

How long dwell on should I
On fruitless life how long dwell on should I? On needless strife how long dwell on should I? Let me salute my foe’s fairest friendship, On faults and gripe how long dwell on should I? That far off dweller we fail to follow, His irks so rife-- how long dwell on should I? On her dreams to flower that have faded-- On...

Joy of life create will I
‘Lone, my life decorate will I And joy of life create will I. A fast-flowing streamlet am I, My way forward ferret will I. As my wishes are all my own, Carry ‘pon me their weight will I. What’s longing? Just a paper boat, My craves on sail set off will I. She once called me a road-side stone, As milestone,...

Frogs in Heaven
If I ever find my mind in a sermon from heaven Or ever blind as a frog in a broken earthen oven I’d hop my hump back down to earth And yawp my stump for a crown of worth Real heaven can exist in the commotion of a threshold Reckon, if you can, and resist the...

Premium Member The Hidden Paan Shop
Hidden beneath the leaves of trees is a blue shop - Gleefully I smile; half - construed but true shop. No soul in sight, parking heedlessly, now I plight - Wearing chapals, I go in - flight to this new shop. Entering, I see a man’s mouthy visage - Working he spits in a silver bowl in this rue...

The Alchemist of Love
Tonight from all but you, beloved, I shall part— Transform this copper heart to gold through love's bright art. To taste the drops of your love's sweet alchemy, Through passion's flame I guide my soul to ecstasy. The chang and harp intoxicate my heart undone, Yet your voice's magic echo far outshines the sun. You spoke of rain, of thorny roads,...

Burden became my life
Hither all her desires, thither my fires, Balancing both, burden became my life. In hope of love I walked with wilderness, Breathe in, breathe out, mundane became my life. For an excuse to smile, I just shed tears, Crematorium’s cauldron became my life. You came to my world, to a wrong address, To blessings beholden became my life. Flowers vie with thorns...

Premium Member My Permission
In life’s fierce storms, I stand, my heart’s own mission, No wound can pierce me without my permission. The world may rage, its arrows sharp and swift, Yet I decide if pain gains my admission. Words like daggers, thrown with cruel intent, Fall harmless when denied my heart’s submission. For I am sovereign of my soul’s domain, No trespasser can breach without...

This life
A crystal clear imprint this life, Still, true story’s false hint this life. Life of great possibilities Lived only ten percent, this life. Sheer look that murders and gives life, What a romantic hint this life! A beauty spot--her soft black mole, Yet, no less than a flint this life. It lets a thousand flowers bloom Ah with a distinct tint this life. A flip...
